Asking Your College Recruit What's Wrong
Did you know it's easier for them to talk about what's wrong vs. what's right?
You’ve got recruits on campus this weekend.
And maybe if it’s not this weekend, it’s coming up soon.
With the visit comes the Herculean effort of getting a 17-year old student-athlete to talk so you can connect with them so you can recruit them so they’ll compete for you so you can keep your college coaching job.
Here’s some advice you can use immediately. This weekend, or next weekend, or next month. It’s the 100% sure fire way to get them to talk, think and engage.
It’s asking them what’s wrong. (But maybe not in the way that you’re thinking).
“Tell me about the wrong type of college for you?”
“Who would you say would be the wrong coaching personality for you to work with as your next coach?”
“What’s the wrong type of college setting for you? Big city, or small college town?”
Asking them about what they see as the wrong fit for them is going to get them talking like you haven’t seen before, and you’ll know it’s the truth because they’ll struggle to verbalize it (unlike the memorized answers they give you to the everyday, common questions coaches usually ask).
Try it and let me know how it works.
If you happen to not be a Honey Badger Recruiting subscriber yet, you really should be.
This next week, we’re going to be taking a deep dive into the right (and wrong) ways to get your prospects to open up and talk to you. It’ll be for clients and subscribers only, and I want you to be in on it.
Plus, you’ll be able to get up-to-speed on the other subscriber-only training we’ve been publishing:
“How Your Competition Fools Prospect with Their Reputation” - we taught our subscribers and clients to recognize it, and combat it.
“The Logical Way to Prove the Value of Your College” - looking to justify why your college should be #1 on your prospect’s list? This gives you a solid strategy.
“Secrets Your Prospects Are Dying to Know” - whether it’s on a visit, or over the phone, our subscribers learned what recruits are really wanting to hear from you.
It’s an investment of $29 a month, and it’s designed for coaches who want a daily, next-level non-stop stream of recruiting data, new strategies, and techniques.
We’d love to have you on board and part of the team. Try it out, you can cancel anytime if you don’t like it. But you will, because it’s going to make you a better college coach and recruiter.
